    As for the tire rub you have at least two, likely three things working against you.

    1. Rear tires that are too tall

    2. A rear axle that is too wide

    3. It's very likely that these wheels have the wrong offset and backspace, especially given the fact that they had to use a pretty significant spacer in the front.

    As for the poor braking my bet is that when the booster was eliminated the builder failed to do the pedal modification to change it to the proper leverage.

    Good luck,
    Jeff
